Singapore Comic Con
Cybertron Fest was a Hasbro sponsored event hosted at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, alongside its local comic convention from 9–10 December, 2023. It is the second official Transformers event hosted there that year, following the world premiere of Rise of the Beasts.
Areas
Entrance
A split path corridor for both factions, with pictures of Live-Action Optimus Prime and Bumblebee on one side, and two pictures of Megatron on the other. Each one has a button that plays a voice clip:
- Bumblebee: "You can't handle the truth!" (See Errors)
- Optimus Prime: "Autobots, Transform and Roll Out!"
- Megatron (outer): "I am... Megatron!!"
- Megatron (inner): "We shall finish off the Autobots once and for all!"
The splitting section also has content: the side facing the Megatrons is about the Marvel Comic, with selected covers being shown off (sadly can't be grabbed to read), while the side facing the Autobots is about the original cartoon, and plays the original More than Meets the Eye pilot.
At the end is a life-sized statue of Live-Action Optimus in his Rise of The Beasts design, occasionally playing various sound-bytes.
Historical Zone
A quick skim throughout the various Transformers toys over the years. Starting from the original and ending at Transformers: Legacy.
Fan Collection Zone
A selection of toys from Singaporean collectors, most notably a collection of Optimus Primes and Megatrons.
Transformers Toys
A showcase of almost every official Transformers toy released/revealed recently. Also played host to the reveal of Legacy United Tidal Wave, Origins Wheeljack and Crimsonflame.
All Things Transformers
This section is for almost all the stuff that this wiki would classify as Merchandise-model kits, Robosen Robots, Busts...You name it!
Experiential Zone
For fans to get in on the action. Customize! Photograph some action shots! Play Mobile Legends with the Transformers skins or that EarthSpark game!
Transformers shop
This is your usual convention gift shop, except the toys are all available early for 2 days... at least that's what it said in the press release. So far, this only seems to apply to the first wave of Studio Series... except for the Deluxes for some reason (which were completely absent-not even the displays had them for some reason).
Miscellaneous
- Meet and greet with Optimus Prime.
Errors
- Bumblebee at the entrance is depicted in his appearance in the 2007 movie, but the sound byte comes from the more recent Rise of the Beasts. Similarly, Megatron sports his Revenge of the Fallen design for both of the pictures, yet one of the voice clips resembles Frank Welker's rendition of the character as opposed to the Hugo Weaving based clip from the other.
- Lots under the Historical Zone:
- The description for Beast Wars talks about Machine Wars instead.
- The Alternators and Star Wars Transformers lines are labelled as Unicron Trilogy toylines.
- The description for the Aligned Continuity is a mess: it neglects to mention the War For Cybertron and it's sequel, Prime, and Rescue Bots Academy. It then mentioned Go! being released under Hasbro's branding-it wasn't.
- Under the Prime Wars Trilogy section, Power of the Primes is mislabeled as Power of Prime.
- Both the 2001 Robots in Disguise series and Animated are ommitted from the display, though the fan display grants them reprive as Roll Out Command Optimus Prime and Leader Class Megatron appear in it, and one of Optimus Primes alternate modes is a fire engine.
